Candy Bandit

OK - so it happened again.

I was in bed,

blissfully sleeping the morning away

while my child was up and getting into all sorts of mischief.

It was the day before her birthday party.

Megan found the treat bags, brought the stool down from her room to reach them on the counter, and silently helped herself to all the candy.

I didn't hear a thing.

I came downstairs and found this . . .

and a little of this . . .

Since my camera was right there on the counter, I snapped some pictures of the crime scene.
(Trying not to laugh, of course.)

I really had to try not to laugh when I asked her what she wanted for breakfast and she replied,

"I had breakfast already, Mommy. I had candy for breakfast."

But I absolutely couldn't stop myself from laughing when I went through the pictures on my camera and realized my little bandit had PHOTOGRAPHED HERSELF during the act.

Yep, that's my not-at-all-sneaky candy bandit.
